The music video for the first single "You Light Up" was filmed in Toronto Ontario. The cover for the CD features a picture of Sandy Horne and Gordon Deppe and numerous symbols and signs including morse code, circuit diagrams, and even hieroglyphics. Fans who purchased the album were challenged to find secret codes that would unlock two additional bonus downloads on the band's official website.
